Hi, i don't think i'm in the right place but I'd like to know if the
namespace supports peer-to-peer connections. I've successfully made socket
connections with web servers but i was wondering if you can make conenctions
to arbitrary ip addresses. Trying to write a simple program to do comms with
computers on my home network. Any help or direction would be nice thankyou.
 
AFAIK, there is no inbuilt support for P2P in System.Net. However, with
existing classes available in this namespace, you can build one. Here is an
article that might give you some idea:

There is also a sample .NET app called Terrarium that uses P2P:
